India's new Labour Codes reshape wage calculations effective November 21, 2025. The Code on Wages clarifies critical distinctions: overtime allowance counts toward the 50% wage floor, while gratuity and retirement benefits are excluded. Statutory contributions like employer PF and pension are included in remuneration calculations. These consolidated codes merge 29 previous labour laws into four comprehensive frameworks covering wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety. Employers and employees must understand these distinctions as they directly impact salary structures, overtime compensation, and benefit calculations. The 50% wage rule ensures statutory components are properly accounted for while protecting employee remuneration.
